@ Kez: alright, alright, jsut calm down. Didn't know, alright?
Here.
NAME: Dream's Epilogue, oft called Dream for short.
SPECIES: Pikachu (corrupt)
GENDER: …male.
Group: Independent (enemy of TR)
PERSONALITY: A good word to describe me would be…ambitious. I am a Commanding Officer of the Black Hole Army, a position which I mostly gained through luck, timing, and no small amount of skill. I am very loyal to Black Hole and its leader, Lord Hawke. I can be very cold and sarcastic at times, but I only do this to bring out the best in others; I believe anyone who wastes potential is next to nothing. I…have a small degree of difficulty with social situations, and as a result, it is…awkward…for me to make new friends.
I respect power, and pity weakness. I am easily irritated by overtly-foolish antics, though I can myself be swept into such antics with uncomfortable ease. I am not quick to anger, but when I am, I've been told I can be quite frightening. I…do not make friends easily, as I've stated, but those who do earn my respect will find me a valuable ally indeed. Sadness is, unfortunately, a common ailment for me. I often suffer from random depressions, though I never allow them to interfere with my duties, and my sorrow can quickly shift to fury towards those foolish enough to provoke me.
I am very purpose-driven; I see anyone without a solid purpose to be no better than dead. My own purpose is to serve Black Hole, and to see my liege's grand dream of universal harmony come to fruition.
APPEARANCE: Although my build and physique are normal, there was a rather odd side effect of my "Special training;" my yellow fur lost much of its pigment, turning a light grey, whilst the fur on my cheeks, the tip of my ears, the base of my tail, and the stripes along my back turned pitch-black. I'm not entirely sure of the cause, and even Mistress Lash, Black Hole's resident genius, was unable to determine the source of my miscoloring. Nevertheless, I've grown accustomed to my new appearance, as I think it further illustrates my newfound power.
HISTORY: The best place to start would be the first time I encounter Black Hole.
You may wonder why I wouldn't start with, say, my birth, perhaps, or my first trainer. Well, there is simply no story there. I grew up uneventfully, ended up in the hands of a trainer, got bored with that, ran away, ended up with another trainer, ran away again…the process repeated, all the way up until that first encounter.
During one of my escapes, I had decided to rest to regain my strength. While sleeping, I was approached by a pair of Black Hole scouts, and a short standoff occurred. I managed to defeat them, and a few more a short while later, but I was eventually ambushed and taken prisoner.
Shortly afterwards, I was taken to Black Hole's field HQ, staging point for their spread into the Pokemon World. It was here that I met Lash, and later Hawke. After initial tests and hostility, I was unwittingly given a test to measure my intelligence…and passed it with flying colors. I was given another "test," this one to test my tactical prowess. My score rivaled that of the other Black Hole CO's, and after some initial complaints, I willingly accepted a role as a Commander.
At first, I was skeptical; Lash went to great pains to get much of Black Hole adapted for me, including developing and outfitting all Black Hole uniform-armor with special translators. I followed orders, did what I was told, but never really got into any of it.
Then, something changed. I was given an opportunity to command alongside Lord Hawke in a decisive battle. During that battle, Hawke explained everything to me. He told me of his great plan, a plan to lead Black Hole on an epic crusade to conquer all nations of all worlds, to strengthen the weak and bring every single sentient life form under a single banner. It would be an era of unchallenged peace…because there would be no one left to challenge it.
I don't know what it was, but for some reason, that goal has stuck with me ever since. I'm dedicated to it, would even give my life for it, if it came to that.
CURRENT MOVES: ABILITY: Corrupt Heart: All moves are treated as Dark-type in situations where this provides a type-advantage.
Thundershock: my bread-and-butter move. It's useful and simple. I rely on this for lesser foes and common situations.
Thunderbolt: My standard attack of choice. It's reasonably powerful, and isn't too draining. If I pull this move out, I mean business.
Volt Tackle: Easily my most potent move. This attack can drop most targets in one or two hits, and can even be lethal to humans in some instances. I usually don't use this technique unless the situation calls for it, or I'm facing a particularly powerful foe.
Discharge: If I'd known this before, things might've turned out quite differently. This is my preferred attack when outnumbered. It's very handy for multiple targets, but can be somewhat draining.
SPECIAL:
These are my "CO" abilities, garnered as a result of my training under Hawke. These moves are special in that they cannot be used under normal circumstances.
These abilities draw on my own blackened aura. This dark aura grows based on the suffering and pain of those around me; the greater the injuries of my comrades (and my foes), the more fuel is poured into these abilities. When the aura grows strong enough, I can draw out one of these moves to use. HOWEVER, using these moves is very draining, and it takes a significant amount of time before I can use them again.
Black Soul: The smallest and simplest of the three moves. This allows me to siphon off the victim's life energy and use it to heal my own injuries. It's rarely lethal, but it can leave the victim severely weakened for a length of time.
Dark Wave: My version of Lord Hawke's Black Wave technique. It is significantly lowered in power, but is still very potent. When triggered, I expand my own dark aura over a wide area. It mixes with the auras of other living beings, and its effects vary; based on my perceptions of those around me, it drains away life energy from those I consider enemies, and redistributes it amongst myself and my allies. This has the effect of crippling anyone hostile to me, while at the same time restoring the strength of my comrades and I.
Dark Storm: My supposedly ultimate attack. Truthfully, I have yet to gather enough power to use it, and so know nothing of how it would work. Based off of Hawke's Black Storm, it would essentially be more than twice the potency and range of Dark Wave, sapping life from enemies over two or three miles and bestowing it upon allies within that same range. As I've said before, however, I've never been able to use this move, and I don't imagine being able to use it anytime soon.
RP SAMPLE: *pending*
This is my SU. The "third party" thing is to simplify it; I'm not entirely a member of the Revo, per se, but I'm an enemy of Rocket, and thus an ally of the Revo. If it comes to that, I can join later on, but I'll probably usually act on my own.
The CO powers are a crucial aspect of the character. I can't get rid of them. Sorry. If that's the case, I don't think I'd be able to join.
I can't join the RHS, and I can't just up and join the Revo, but if you have a problem with this, just tell me, and I'll work it out.
